	081	SHINJI:“Ayanami, we're coming in.” TOJI:“I don't think it's good to barge into a girl's room without her permission.” SHINJI:“We've got no choice.”
	082	SHINJI (OFF):“She won't see it if we leave it there.”
	083	SHINJI:“Excuse us...”	Mr. Tines: Even if she comes in job lots, it seems odd that there's so little security here.
	084		UrsusArctos: In Episode 05, Shinji was the one who walked on tiptoe on Rei's horribly dirty apartment floor, but he now walks normally. Instead, it's Toji, the guy who you'd normally not expect to bother much about this sort of thing, who walks on tiptoe because he's put off by the dirt.
	085
	086	TOJI (OFF):“Wha?! Is this a girl's room? It's so unwelcomin'.”	UrsusArctos: I wonder what Toji expected from a girl's room? Girl, boy, or neither, that room certainly is unwelcoming.

	093	TOJI:“Hey, you shouldn't touch anythin'! She'll get pissed!”
	094	SHINJI (OFF):“I'm just cleaning up.” TOJI:“I ain't helpin'! That's not a man's job!” SHINJI (OFF):“Okay, but Miss Misato hates guys like that.” TOJI:“I don't care! It's my policy!”	UrsusArctos: Toji is putting up a macho front, as usual. Shinji, interesting, uses Toji's crush on Misato to get him to clean up the room by pointing out what Misato doesn't like - which is the sort of prod that he'd never have used early in the series! The kid is getting smart, all right.
	095
	096	TOJI (OFF):“Man,”
	097	TOJI:“what a change.” SHINJI:“In what?” TOJI:“You.”
	098
	099	TOJI:“The first time I saw you, I really thought you were a jerk. And you didn't seem like you'd do somethin' for others. Well, I guess it depends on what you've got to give.”

	103	TOJI:“We're visitin'!” REI:“What?” TOJI:“Those are the printouts that were pilin' up.”
	104
	105	SHINJI (OFF):“I'm sorry.”
	106	SHINJI:“I took it upon myself to clean up a little. But I didn't touch anything except trash.”
	107	REI:“Thank you.”	UrsusArctos: Rei goes from being visibly irritated by the visit to actually blushing. The idea of someone who isn't Gendo doing something for her seems unthinkable, and as we see later, she's never thanked anyone before.
	108
	109	TOJI:“Eva pilots sure are weird, all right.”	UrsusArctos: Oh, the irony of that line! As an aside, there's a clear marking for a "high voltage socket" beside the road. The size of the sign suggests that the marking was meant for an Eva pilot needing a new umbilical cable just as much as a regular inhabitant of the city.

	111
	112	REI (MONO):“Thank you... Words of gratitude. Words I've never used.”
	113
	114	REI (MONO):“I'd never even said them to him.”	UrsusArctos: In contrast to the visibly delighted Rei in Episode 05, the fact that Rei never said "thank you" to Gendo even after the rescue from the Entry Plug demonstrates that their relationship isn't nearly as close as we were led to believe earlier. Of course, Gendo being severely emotionally stunted is partly to blame. dzzthink: Rei is clearly confused about her feelings towards Shinji. Compared with her usual ambivalence, these precious moments reveal Rei's inner psychology and emotional state.
